The F/A-18E is actually equipped with GBU53, but it was rejected by the administrator

The F/A-18E fighter jet is equipped with GBU53. However, when the report was submitted, the administrator still rejected it on the grounds that the F18E is not the F18F. But in fact, in the submitted materials, the official referred to these two types of aircraft as F18E/ F. Moreover, in reality, the F18F is merely A variant of the F18E. The purpose is to reduce the workload of the pilots. The weapon systems are exactly the same, but the forum administrators clearly don’t understand this!

If you have any questions about bug reporting or any specific report then send a private message to one of the Technical Moderators. You can find all the teams and the areas they handle listed here: (Who is who and Reporting Procedure). If you don’t get an answer within a few days you can add more moderators from the list to the original message instead of sending a new message (that way you preserve the date of the message and it doesn’t look like a new request), adding one of the moderators to the message every 2-3 days or so until you get an answer.

Please do not to add the seniors until you have tried all other regular moderators, the Seniors likely won’t answer unless they are added and pinged by the regular moderators but if you’ve added all the regular moderators with no answer then you can add the seniors.

I can ask here?

Is there a chance we will see NATO planes not needing to research the 9L, but instead starting research directly from the AIM-9M? Gaijin’s default provided loadout is also the 9M—can we just start researching from the 9M directly?

I have no idea, i have no contact with the DEV’s and no insight into their decisions.

Oh, alright. Thank you for your response

That’s genuinely hilarious, this level of bad faith is beyond my comprehension… makes you wonder if the report mods even know the topic

The US Navy and Air Force squadrons have already been equipped with GBU-53 smart bombs
